Hey. I am drumroll The Amazing Chris!!!

Genis: Who is much less amazing than he claims.

Me: Shut it you! I don't own ToS. If I did, Kratos wouldn't leave at the end.

Warmth crept over Lloyd as light spread in the sky. He yawned widely, showing a set of teeth that were as white and straight as they came. But… perhaps it was a trick of the light, but they seemed rather… Sharp… Opening his eyes, he squinted in the sunlight. Groaning, he rolled over. An early riser he was not. His nose twitched… His eyes opened again, but there was light in them this time. BREAKFAST!!! He jumped up, throwing on his clothes then dashed over to the makeshift table that the group was using. He rather shocked Genis, who was in the act of flipping a pancake. Lloyd didn't notice however, because he was already at the table, panting almost doglike. He then noticed that Genis had a pancake in his (rather large) hair. "Hey, Genis!" he called, "You have a pancake in your hair!" Genis gave Lloyd a withering glance, which was slightly spoiled by the fact that there was dough dripping into his eyes.

"Really. Tell me something I don't know," he drawled sarcastically. "GAHH!!" he cried in desperation. "This is sticky!" Grumbling, he began the long journey to the stream to wash his hair. Fortunately, there was a large path to the stream, mainly because it was being used as a road. (The path, not the stream. Just wanted to clear that up.) Unfortunately, roads were public, so anybody could use them. And this morning, Presea did.

She watched as Genis walked towards the stream where she was sitting. She was partially screened by foliage, so Genis didn't see her. He walked the last steps to the stream and dunked his head in, shaking the remnants of pancake batter from his hair. Presea waited for him to raise his head back up. "There is still some batter in your eyebrows," she observed calmly, undoing her hair bands.

"Oh!" Genis exclaimed. "H-Hi Presea!" he turned and stopped dead, gaping at her. He had never realized she looked so nice with her hair down… He shook himself mentally and physically, spraying Presea with drops of water and batter. "O-oops!" he spluttered out, his cheeks turning red.

Presea raised an eyebrow in amusement. "There was only a 2 chance of rain today."

Genis laughed, enjoying the moment. After a few seconds, his smile dissipated. "Well, I'd better get back," he slowly relented.

"If you must…" Presea said.

"Well, I-I could stay too, if you want…" Genis replied, turning back hopefully.

"No, that wouldn't be a good idea," Presea said, letting a rare smile slip off her face. "I was planning on bathing…"

"Ah." Genis swiveled around and walked away slowly. Presea watched him go. She hadn't been planning on bathing. Why had she said that? Berating herself mentally, she sighed. It was just… she felt so nervous around Genis… Even now, her heart was pumping like crazy just thinking about him… She got up, and slowly made her way back to camp.

Review please... be pals... Flame me if you must...
